It goes on to say: “The Beaver State’s top rate of 9.9% is applied to taxable income over $125,000 ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly). One bright spot in Oregon’s tax picture is its absence of a sales tax.”

Kiplinger also reports the Tax Foundation’s property tax factoid: Property tax on Oregon’s median home value of $257,400 is $2,241.

The good news, of course, is that Oregon didn’t make the “Least Tax Friendly” states, which include California and Hawaii, but are otherwise in the Midwest and Northeast.
